PROFESSIONAL SPORTS CARERS
CONSULTANCY AND TRAINING
CONSULTANCY
Proactively Preparing for Reviews and Audits
We support sports organisations and clubs in proactively reviewing their host family care and accommodation provision as part of internal quality assurance and in preparation for external audits.
Engaging an independent organisation to support these reviews is considered best practice, particularly in advance of annual safeguarding audits.
Independent service reviews provide valuable insight and contribute meaningfully to formal safeguarding inspections conducted by external agencies.
Please contact us to discuss how we can support and strengthen your service delivery.
HOST FAMILY
TRAINING
Professional CPD
We offer in-person and online training for Professional Sports Carers, also know as Host Families, who are responsible for hosting young elite athletes in their homes. This is a comprehensive and essential three-hour training session for Professional Sports Carers, and may serve as a valuable introduction for newly appointed Designated Safeguarding Leads that hold overall responsibility for the strategic planning and implementation of the care and accommodation policies within a sports academy setting.
SUPERVISION
Reflective Practice
We provide in-person and online supervision sessions for Designated Safeguarding Leads and Player Carer Managers who are responsible for overseeing hosting provisions within a sports academy setting.
These sessions offer a valuable opportunity to set aside time for reflective practice, whilst taking a solution-focused approach to identifying and implementing improvements that enhance the quality and effectiveness of the hosting provision and service delivery.
